The Nokia 6310i and Concord

I have for years been canabalising various redundant Nokia 6310i handsets to keep my company issued circa 2002 device operational.

Sadly my recent efforts have been less successful due to the diminishing supply of available body parts and I have now had to resort to adopting one of the latest new-fangled machines which incorporates a coloured screen, funky noises, games that any 1980s kid would kill for, interweb access, reception which requires I stand completely still and a battery which just about lasts 2 phone calls.

The passing of this perfect mobile phone is for me like the passing of Concord, a peak was reached and now we descend the slope of multi-function averageness and compromise. Actually it looks quite good...

6310i is still readily available for sale, according to Amazon.
